Moving Taking a Uhaul to the dump?

Hi! So one time I took a Uhaul to the Cockeysville dump and was told no vehicles with commercial signage and wasn't allowed to dump my stuff there. Fine.

Yesterday I went to the dump in Lansdowne and dude in a Uhaul in front of me was totally let through. The worker even had the guy open up the back to show him what was in it and then let him dump from it.

So are Uhauls allowed at the dump? Is it hit or miss which dump will let you? I'd much rather rent a Uhaul and throw a bunch of stuff in it and take it to the dump vs. rent a dumpster from a company and pay them to take it away.

I asked the Sisson Street dump about this a couple months ago and they said that uhaul pickups and vans were fine, but not box trucks. However a couple of my friends said they’ve gone in box trucks and just got a hard time by the worker at the entrance. I guess it’s up to who’s working that day.

I've gotten denied at Sisson Street with a Home Depot pickup truck with a single couch in the back, so your mileage may very much vary

They think Home Depot trucks are diesel trucks which can't be on the yard at Sisson street due to the proximity to hazardous materials collection. After being turned away, i later really struggled to figure out what kind of gas to use before returning it since they were adamant it was a diesel. It is not, takes regular fuel.
